Watcha doing?

[RabbiKnife]

Good company

I’ll give at update in six months!

I have limited time for a for-profit system that makes more money keeping me slightly sick than fixing problems. I guess I'm fortunate that my doctor is more into holistic solutions than pushing pills at every opportunity.

I have no idea what my cholesterol might be as I haven't had bloodwork done for several years now. I should probably change that, even if only for the sake of information. Given how much exercise I take these days I'm expecting my HDL levels to be very high, hopefully enough to offset any issues with LDL.

My legs hate me. I helped a couple from our church load their moving van this morning. It was easy enough but lots of trips up and down stairs because they live in an upstairs apartment. Then came the game of Tetris fitting boxes into a van, although that wasn't too much of a problem because there was more than enough space.

Then I got home and went for a long run and spent most of the second half of it wishing I hadn't bothered. I think I was still digesting lunch, and it was very hot, and I suspect my legs really wanted a break from running. But I slogged around it taking more walk breaks than I'd hoped, and now get to spend the evening sitting on my rear in my recliner. Depending on how energetic I'm feeling I might measure up some lumber for framing the rest of the closet, although based on current observations the chances of that happening appear to be somewhere between fat and slim.

My cholesterol is elevated, so I've joined the club.

"Garlique" supplements. Amazing!

I've heard conflicting things. But you're saying, it's been amazing for you?

Yes. With full diet and regular usage, first the blood pressure came down and lipids stay within reason - I'm rarely concerned now about cholesterol  as I address inflamation.
This supplement is coated and time released.

Among all the health talk, neighbor's daughter had her graduation party yesterday so a little more liberal on the eating and drinking than usual. I had two fun-sized cans of sugary soda, which is about the same amount of sugary soda as I've had for the rest of the year so far. The amount of sugar in that stuff is terrifying but every once in a while (read: maybe every several months) I may be tempted by a can of it.

I bought a 12-pack of soda something like three years ago and still have 8 of them in the pantry.

Today's workout is sprint repeats, which will help offset the excesses of yesterday.

I was reminded today that the election in November coincides with Guy Fawkes Day.

Interesting. It's said that Guy Fawkes was the only man to ever enter Parliament honest about his intentions.

My sprint repeats were less fun than I expected. I got a fair few of them in but the heat isn't doing anything to help me. But I got a good hard workout in, pushed hard enough for it to rank "Anaerobic" as the primary benefit (which was the goal), and now I can hope my legs still work tomorrow.

Struggling with running in the heat today, it seemed my pulse was running faster than it should have been and I was constantly feeling like I was overheating.

Then this afternoon I got some work done on soundproofing the last parts of my ceiling, cutting some existing floor so it's nice and flush (and removing the tongues from the tongue-and-groove edge, so it can butt up against the pieces I'm going to put in the space, and measuring and cutting the top and bottom bars that will frame the rest of the closet space. I figured I can extend my problematic stud the other way, meaning I won't lose any of the very limited space and making it more likely that my plan to fit a shower cubicle into the space will actually work.

This evening I went to help a friend with a bit of drywalling. Nothing fancy, he wanted to tidy up a small section in his garage but didn't have much in the way of useful drywall to use. But we cut some pieces, trimmed them, screwed them into place, and now it's just a question of applying some tape and mud. I think I'll let him do that bit.

I walked my 1.5 miles in 24 minutes flat last night…. With the hills, I really don’t know if I can walk it any faster…

I played my 17yr old son yesterday in one on one basketball. At 46yrs old, I know the day is coming that he'll beat me..."But it is not this day!"

Although, today my legs hate me...

When that day comes, as he goes around you like your feet are cemented to the ground....

Clothesline him.
